Search Tips

Search types

Search types are available under "More Options".

Keyword: Returns results ordered by relevance. Searching with multiple words will prioritize records that contain all of the words, but will also include records that contain any one of the individual words. However, words that appear very frequently in our records will be omitted, so a boolean or exact match search might be preferable in these cases.

Boolean: Allows greater fine-tuning than keyword search but does not return results by relevance. Place certain characters at the beginning or end of words, for example:

A leading plus sign (+) indicates that this word must be present.

A leading minus sign (-) indicates that this word must not be present.

An appended asterisk (*) serves as the truncation (or wildcard) operator. Words that begin with the same letters as the provided keyword will be matched.

A phrase enclosed within double quotes (" ") matches only records that contain the phrase literally, as it was typed.

Using no special characters will result in an implied "OR" inserted between each keyword.
